The game defaulted to the software render device, did you install the Microsoft VC++ 2012 X86 redistributable? Also, you need to run the DirectX web setup to get all the DX9 dlls, as Windows does not ship with all of them.

Sorry, I'm not often on here, I'm active on discord.

Text is missing while using it.

Non-English games are unfortunately unsupported due to the absolute bonkers method Epic used to render non-English fonts in UE1. In DX7 on Windows 10, the FPS will drop to a measly 5FPS due to the fact that it has to draw every single string directly on the window.

The only fix is to replace the underlying subsystem with a better one, which I did in my engine, which you can find more information about in the discord.

The engine will come out soon, but it's not ready yet. The text subsystem is finished though.

Yeah, the engine is coming along, still need to finish parts of it like the new front-end. Join the discord for more updates, as I don't login here often.

I'm on discord everyday, as it starts with my computer.

You're welcome! Glad my port could increase your performance!

With my new engine coming soon, performance is increased even more as I could optimize more of the engine internals. Framerates above 200 are very common in it now.

Is the new engine still in development or has it been abandoned?

It's still in healthy development, yes.

I'm just not active on here, I'm active in the discord.

I plan to make a 2.0 release public to that discord on christmas, if everything goes well

No explanation on tweaks you can make,like resolution change,just plop this thing inside.
If anyone want's to know,you can use dgvoodoo with this and it works wonders just like with the first game.
